The aPero Buvette is the project of Tania Perreault and Melisande Lefebvre, partners in business and in life. Tania Perreault was inspired by her family name and her passion for aperitifs to create this new identity, after the three partners of the Lovasi firm (of which she was a member) each took different paths.
